Swimming--The Best Exercise

 for Arthritis Prevention
Glucosamine-Chondroitin supplements were once considered an alternative therapy. No longer. Today the benefits are largely accepted as far reaching for humans and animals alike. Prevention is a big part of the therapy--swimming, regular exercise of the joints, and maintaining a healthy weight are all part of the plan for prevention.

Today I am here to present the winners of some samples of Glucosamine/Chondroitin supplements. My friends at i Love Dogs have graciously offered to up the donation of their product, so we'll have some very happy winners with this extra box added to my offering. 

I've drawn the names of the winners, and will assign the products in the same order as the names drawn. Here goes:
  • Tammy Fazio--GLC 1000 for medium to large dogs
  • Crystal--GLC 1000 for small to medium dogs
  • Sugar--i Love Dogs sample (to include Glucosamine/Chondroitin, along with a sample of multivitamins and immunity booster tablets)
The kind folks at i Love Dogs have requested the weight of their winner, in order to ship a box of the appropriate product directly to the winner, Sugar. I'll need to hear from each winner with an address for shipment, and Sugar will need to provide her weight. Sorry girl; it's the rules :(  Send your info to LetsAdoptaDogPark@gmail.com, and I'll make sure you all get your supplements.

Congratulations and feel free to let me know how your dog tolerates the supplements. Tanner, my big Golden Retriever, enjoys his simply sprinkled over his meal. I don't have to hide it in a meatball or pack it in cheese; just dump it on and down it goes. How easy is that?!!

Happy swimming to all you arthritis-free pups.

And as always, don't forget to visit 5 Minutes for Fido, where Tanner and Oliver spout off their opinions and generally offer up silliness.

"Hello Fido! And What Was Your Owner's Name Again?"

Posted: 01 Apr 2011 08:55 PM PDT

We've all been there--we remember the dog's name before the owner's. What do you suppose it is that causes that brain dysfunction? I have a theory.


For years I've noticed that I can remember a person's name after meeting them twice--well, maybe 3 times. I've come to believe that it's all about having the time to assign some personality characteristics to the person, so that I can associate all this with the name.


Think about it. It's much easier to associate a Bloodhound with the name Hunter because of the obvious correlation, or even a Chihuahua with the name Bruiser, just because it's funny. The variations in dogs' appearances are far greater than ours as humans. Sure, we have boys and girls, older and younger folks, brown hair and blonde, short and tall, small and large. But somehow those same variations are more obvious with dogs than with humans. I can't explain it, except that it seems to be a commonality with everyone I toss this theory out to. Everyone seems to feel it's on target.


What about you? How do you remember an owner's name as well as their dog's name? Let's get some conversation going here. I need help--big time! My neighbors may be feeling a bit slighted when I remember Lola and don't remember...."What was her name?" Ideas?
